The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.
I'm pretty sure, every girl dreams about donning elegant dresses and being crowned as the most beautiful woman in a beauty pageant.

All married women can still be beautiful inside and out, exude confidence and style, and be a role model to other women.

much glitter with the parade of beauty ambassadors, magnificent
cultural dance, enchanting LED dance and mellifluous Angel (dubbed as
